What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
The identification of the parathyroid glands during neck surgery can be challenging due to their variable anatomical location. Knowledge of embryonic migration, typical positions and vascular supply is therefore essential for successful surgery of the parathyroid glands. This narrative review article, supported by a systematic literature search, addresses these aspects in detail. Anatomical orientation along the recurrent laryngeal nerve and the inferior thyroid artery as key landmarks, followed by systematic cervical exploration, improves intraoperative detection rates of parathyroid glands. The anatomical variability is higher for the inferior than for the superior parathyroid glands. In cases of primary hyperparathyroidism, preoperative localization using high-resolution ultrasound and functional imaging techniques (e.g., choline positron emission tomography/computed tomography, PET/CT) enables focused parathyroidectomy, leading to a significant reduction of operation times and complication rates.
